03/10/2024 | 11:20:26 Thank you, Mister Chair. First of all, I want to thank the author of this report that opens the terrible shadow pictures and pages of world history and especially of Ukrainian history. Everybody knows about the atrocities of the hundreds of deaths at the beginning of the 1920s. There is a lot of literature about this and it was really hungry days all over the only forming new Russian empire. But nobody knows that in the Hoover Library and Hoover's Archive, the biggest archive of the soviet... 02/10/2024 | 17:15:19 Thank you, Mister President. First, I just want to start with some figures: 6 000 prisoners of war who are now in the prisons of Russia or their concentration camps; 14 000 civilians who are now in Russian prisons or concentration camps, and only less than 2 000 that are now approved by the Red Cross. Fewer than 20 000 – it's not an exact figure, because it's impossible to approve this through international organisations – children are now illegally on Russian territory. So it's figures. But... 27/06/2024 | 11:58:00 Thank you Madam Rapporteur for your excellent report. I think it's a big theme that we need to discuss, not only in this session but for a long period of time. And, of course, it's impossible to start my speech without a big thanks to all your governments, your parliaments all over the world, first of all, of European countries, countries that are members of the European Union, Canada, the United States, Türkiye and many, many other countries that are not members of European Union, for all... 26/06/2024 | 11:52:52 Thank you, Mister Chair. Dear rapporteurs, I think that it's not a case that we decided to unite all these three reports. I think it's a good idea to analyse how an autocratic regime became a fascist regime. It's very important to analyse this in a comparison with the fascist regime of Hitler. Putin started with the same problems that he started to solve. First of all, he decided to exclude, as Hitler did many years ago, such nations as Austrians, Czech, Slovak and others. So Putin started... 16/04/2024 | 16:20:18 Thank you, Mister President. Dear colleagues, I want to ask very honestly one question. Why do we need this report, this resolution, these recommendations? Somebody says that it's a message to Putin, this bloody dictator, in order to show just for him what it will be if he will not stop. Of course it's a message for all other bloody dictators that had to see what will be if we will make all our work unanimously. What we had to do and why we need this report? I think that we need to answer the...
